Re: Good for them
It is not evident from this article that the police have or have not followed the legal process. In fact, the way I read the article, I suspect the police HAVE followed the same process for Skype that they would for phone records. MS is apparently planning to argue Skype is not a phone replacement, even though that's part of how they pitch it.
If society is to survive, it is going to have to stop assigning criminal motives to police without reasonable/probable cause to do so.
